When using the “Duplicate Project” function, add in two options:
If a board was not originally created as a template, this would allow you to create a template from a recent board without having to backtrack and mark all tasks and subtasks as incomplete.
Definitely need to change task status from Completed to Incomplete when duplicating a project (at least in my world.)
Did this ever get resolved - we have hundreds of tasks which will not be effective to incomplete all - surely we can do this in bulk some way?
I’m surprised this doesn’t have more replies! I have the same concern — when I duplicate a completed project, all the tasks on the duplicate project retain the completion status of those on the original project.
When duplicating a project, in the window where you can check which project & task attributes you would like maintained in the new project, 2 new options should be added: one for task completion status and another for subtask completion status. If you were to check these options, then the completion status of all tasks and/or subtasks (respectively) on the new project would match that of the original project. If you did not check them, then the completion status of all tasks and/or subtasks (respectively) on the new project would be incomplete by default.
I hope the Asana team will add this feature, or at least a feature to mark all tasks & subtasks incomplete in a project without having to select them all!
I’m just giving this one a bump. Has this been resolved yet? Presumably if you’re duplicating a task it’s because you completed all the tasks the first time…
I am also wondering if there is a solution to this issue, our templates will always need updating and being able to just copy the latest project to create an updated template will save alot of time!
I have a workaround to this problem (only works for smaller projects that are duplicated): Create a duplicate > View it in List view > Select multiple tasks/subtasks at once using using CTRL + C. Once you select multiple tasks, a mini task bar will open with actions you can take > Select Mark as incomplete.
This doesn’t change the status, unfortunately.
Another bump for this – need a solution from Asana to remove task status for all tasks & subtasks when copying over large project boards.
Bumping also! Please! We need!
Adding to this as we also need this feature implemented! It would make sense to have an option to uncheck “Task Statuses" under the “Task Details” section
